Someone was here

It's just a handprint on a distressed wall in rue du bon pasteur (or should I say rue du bon pastis ?) but I found the composition pleasing to they eye. If you were to leave your hand or foot print somewhere, where would you like to leave it? Or do you find inappropriate to do such a thing?

The grey paint rectangle on the right suggests that a paint-over job was done over some graffiti before someone added their hand print. Never-ending work for the city council graffiti cleaning department but this one isn't too bad I think.

No, Nathalie, I am not leaving any painted handprints. I am not a fan of graffiti. Years ago in the USA the National Park Service had a motto, "Leave only your footprints, take only your memories." How about if I leave my shoes' footprints, and let the rain wash them away?

After six years in Australia and five years of city life in Avignon I moved to the countryside near the small village of Beaumes-de-Venise. Once dedicated to street photography my blog has since taken a more rural note but the beautiful region of Provence is an constant source of inspiration.
